I don't agree that the maintenance is harder. I have three tanks. - One is a 65-gallon tank with about 60 lbs of LR, a 3" sandbed, some soft corals and about 6 fish. I use a wet/dry filter with a built in skimmer. Weekly maintenance = 1 1/2 hr. - One is a 7-gallon nano tank with 10lbs of LR...

I will soon be setting up a refugium for my 210-gal system. The fuge will be a 20-gal tank that will take unfiltered tank output water, pass it through Chaetomorpha at a pretty decent flow (enough to tumble the Chaetomorpha) and then spill out to the sump right at the return pumps. I will have...

I am trying to decide whether to go with a Diamond (Orange Spotted Goby) or else with a Yellow Headed Sleeper Goby or my 210-gal reef tank. My understanding is that the Diamond Goby will do a little better job at cleaning the sand than the Yellow Headed Sleeper, and is quite comical to watch...

I have a 210 gal reef tank that is just about a year old. Livestock and such so far consists of: - 5 Blue-Green Chromis - 1 Blackcap Basslet - 5 Lyretail Anthias - ! Coral Banded Shrimp - 5 or 6 Peppermint Shrimp - 1 Brown Brittle Star - 1 Feather Duster - Small Xenia patch - Button Ployps -...

I am curious how folks run your waste line from the RO/DI unit. I have a Maximma unit that I have had over a year and have not hooked it up yet, primarily because of trying to figure out a way to recover some of the waste water. With three tanks up and running I use about 50 gallons a week...

I have a 7-gal nano with ~10 lbs of LR, 15 lbs of Aragonite for substrate, running 35 watts of light (about 6 or 7 months old). I was running a small hang-on filter with a fiber filter pad and a few small LR pebbles in it, but just switched over to a Prism Deluxe Skimmer with charcoal media...

If you want to get rid of Aptasia fast, easy and chaep, get some Joe's Juice. It runs around $7 - $8 that will last a LONG time. It is easy to use and works great. I even read one review of it where they treated Aptasia on a rock that had yellow polyps all around and not a single ployp was...

There are three pretty good ones on the North side: Northwest: - Marine Fish (770) 321-8404 - in Marietta on Powers Ferry Rd. - nice store and folks, cool large tank display, relatively new owner, sort of $$$ - Capuccino Bay (770) 321-8881; 2145 Roswell Rd Suite 320 , Marietta GA awesome store...

I just put a Prism Deluxe skimmer on my 7-gallon tank on Sunday. It is already starting to pull some green stuff out of the tank. I was doubtful before I ordered it, but it actually looks like a pretty nice design for a combo unit. Definitely better than not having anything. If you have any...

Near term is Lyretail Anthias. Later on, I want to get a female Naso Tang. Rick

Anyone know ho to specify male or female when ordering fish from saltwaterfish.com? I sent them an email last week but have not heard anything back. Most other websites have a way to designate which one you want to order. But I did not see anything here to do that.
